LCD Displays change every time I log off / log on
I have some modded / custom made images I got from the workshop that other people created to put on LCD screens. I had no problem adding them to the game files and setting them up in game. However, when I log off the game and then log back in, the LCD screens are displaying different images than the ones I had chosen originally. I want to specify that this is ONLY happening with the LCD screens that I have the custom made images on. The LCD screens that I have set up with the default vanilla images are still working just fine when I load back in. I have seen older posts where other people mention having this exact problem, but never saw them get a response from anyone about it / find a solution. As far as I can tell the files I downloaded from the workshop are set up correctly. The files are where they should be, I can locate and apply the images in game, and when I select them they display on the screen perfectly. They just don't STAY there. Has anyone else figured out why this occurs and found a solution for it? I love the custom images people have created in the workshop to put on LCD screens, but I'd rather not have to fix the screens every single time I log back into the game.

Hi, best is to find the first Clue and report to the Mod author if bugged.


First Clue to find :
Is it the same with only that Mod in a brand new created world or it happen in only one specific world save ?

This has happened with 3 different LCD screen mods from different creators. Which makes me think it’s not an issue with the mod specifically, but I will definitely reach out to them just to be sure.

I’m currently playing on a server that runs 24/7 that my friend and I are renting from G-Portal, so I’m not sure if it would still happen in a freshly created world or not. I will try to create a new world later on today and see if the issue still persists.

It is important to test one Mod at a time especially to pinpoint the conflicting ones not able to run with other Mods and know if it is compatible with the new game version Before adding to our Favorite world.

Also very important to test Mods in copies or new created world because removing a Mod we don't like, for example, can damage to the save files.

So I tried to add the modded LCD images in a fresh made custom world and they worked. I logged off and then logged back on and they were still there and not changed. Here's what I'm thinking is happening. The server we use is ran by G-Portal and my friend is in charge of that and all the other mods we've added to the server. The LCD image mods I downloaded from the workshop however are ONLY downloaded on MY computer. So I'm thinking that while I am logged on, the server has access to my files, and the modded LCD images work just fine, but when I log off of the server, the server loses access to those .dds files and therefore replaces the images on my LCD screens with something else random to make up for the now missing files. I'm going to try telling my friend to add the mods to our server from his end like he did the other mods we have and see if that fixes the problem.
